I am using the tutorial for the centered popup window
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/centered_popup_window.htm

I beleave i have done everything that it says i need to do in the tut but i cant get the pop up window to open can someone have a quick look at the code and tell me where im being a fool as i cant find whats wrong with it.

if i click on the button on the tutoral’s example, that pop up works fine.

thanks in advance

this is the html code i have used

[SIZE=2]<script language=“JavaScript”>
function Launch(‘www.yahoo.co.uk’, 500, 400) {
OpenWin = this.open(‘www.yahoo.co.uk’, “yahoo”, “toolbar=no, menubar=no ,location=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, width=” + width + “, height=” + height + “, top=” + (screen.height/2 - height/2) + “, left=” + (screen.width/2 - width/2) + “”");
}
</script>
[/SIZE]

function Launch(‘www.yahoo.co.uk’, 500, 400) {

needs to be:

function Launch(url, width, height) {

Then you need to call js from flash like:

getURL(“javascript: Launch(‘www.yahoo.co.uk’, 500, 400);”);

function Launch(url, width, height) {

These are big differences when it comes to code! The difference is in a function defintion vs. calling a function, and it looks like you are combining the two.

To define a function, you declare what variables will be passed, so:

function Launch(url, width, height)
{
// code to open the window
}

defines a function that takes 3 parameters. What you have is literal arguments in the function defintion… which isn’t legal. You use the parameters ‘www.yahoo.com’, 500, 400 when you call the function such as:

(from flash)
getURL(“javascript: Launch(‘www.yahoo.com’, 500, 400);”);

does this make sense?

thanks for trying to help here but still no clearer

in my flash file i have

btn_Up.onRelease = function() {
getURL(“javascript:Launch(‘http://www.yahoo.com’, 400, 300)”);
};

as per kirupa example so i am asuming thats correct

my html file has the following

[SIZE=2]<html xmlns=“XHTML namespace” xml:lang=“en” lang=“en”>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=“Content-Type” content=“text/html; charset=iso-8859-1” />
<title>centeredPop</title>
</head>
<script language=“JavaScript”>
function Launch(‘www.yahoo.co.uk’, 500, 400) {
OpenWin = this.open(‘www.yahoo.co.uk’, “yahoo”, “toolbar=no, menubar=no ,location=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, width=” + width + “, height=” + height + “, top=” + (screen.height/2 - height/2) + “, left=” + (screen.width/2 - width/2) + “"”);
}
</script>
